About Gayan
Tongue of the Gayans, an ethnic group whose homeland is occupied by the Gorodyenki. A small group of Gayan mercenaries, mostly from the rebellious southeast, live and fight with the Yəruŋga.
These Gayans call themselves Shi Däråła, which means 'the close friends/blood-brothers'. They are known for their elaborate and colourful clothes, love of fighting, tolerance for alcohol, mocking war-songs and bilingualism, speaking Gayan amongst themselves but utilising a Yəruŋga-Gayan pidgin for communication with the locals.
features:
-made this to practice actually translating stuff and glossing. Making up grammar as I go.
